Liver spots are pigmentation kind of brown spots, which start appearing on the skin as the age grows. They can be light to dark brown depending on the severity of the problem. These patches usually appear on the backside of the hands, forehead and cheeks the same way freckles appear. The cause is the melanin production in the body and unprotected exposure to the sun.
They have no link or relation with liver in the body. People whose melanin production is not sufficient in the body get more affected with the ultraviolet rays of the sun. They make the skin patchy and uneven in tone, which splits the skin color of a specific area of the body, and such brown spots occur. Excess sun exposure on skin without any protection on the skin is also a known cause of it. People with fair skin have lesser production of melanin have higher chances of getting these scars on the skin.
Always apply sunscreen protection in form of sunscreen lotion with at least SPF 30 to protect the skin from sun damage. When you are facing direct sun for a long time, apply after sun mask on the skin to reduce the chances of getting freckles or liver spots.
If the scars are really bad and increasing with time then seeing a dermatologist is not a bad option. Apply whatever lotions are given to you by the skin specialist and always make sure that you apply sunscreen lotion on the skin when you move out in the sun and reapply it when you are staying in the sun for longer time, as sunscreen lotions need to be applied frequently on the skin. Sunscreen lotions take time to set on the skin so apply them at least 20 minutes before you leave the house. For better protection, always carry an umbrella and wear glasses on the eyes. If you put sunscreen lotion on the effected area regularly you have strong chances of the diminishing of these scars.
